In December, the FCC dealt a huge blow to the open internet by overturning net neutrality protections. This will give internet service providers more power and control over the websites we can visit, make it harder for small businesses to compete online, and likely lead to people paying higher prices for the internet service we have today. Companies lobbied hard to get rid of these rules, but our surveys show the majority of consumers support them.

Since that vote, a broad coalition of consumer groups have been working hard to secure enough votes in Congress to overturn the FCC’s decision. The first step is winning a majority vote in the U.S. Senate. With 50 Senators already committed to vote in favor of restoring net neutrality, we just need to convince one more!

After you’re done signing the petition, make sure to email your friends and family encouraging them to sign. The more people we get to speak out on this issue, the better our chances of winning this fight in Congress.

A democracy is a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people; of course, a government after the principles of eternal justice, the unchanging law of God; for shortness sake, I will call it the idea of freedom.
